Instructions

Creating this Chicken Mozzarella Pasta is a breeze when you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

3. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove from the pan and let it rest before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.

4. Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about a minute. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss to combine everything well.

6. Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the entire pasta mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.

7. Serve and Garnish: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, the dish is ready to serve! Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra touch of flavor.

8. Plate It Up: Scoop a generous serving onto a plate, making sure each serving has a good mix of chicken, cheese, and tomatoes.

9. Enjoy: Dig in while it’s hot, and savor the delicious combination of flavors!
